Explore Economics in Oxford

Throughout the Immerse Education Economics Summer School programme for 13-15-year-olds, you will be introduced to the topics that form the foundation of economics, reside at an Oxford University College, and develop new skills as you work through a carefully constructed syllabus.

You will be equipped with insights to help decide whether to pursue studying economics at secondary or univeristy. You’ll engage in both theoretical and practical learning to discover the building blocks of economics, and how it affects the real-world.

Most importantly, you will emerge from the course more knowledgeable about economics, and with an understanding of what the study of economics looks like at a more advanced level – whilst living and studying in colleges at Oxford University.

What Do Our Alumni Say?
Paula M profile
Testimonial quote icon

I think that Immerse Education so far has been a great opportunity to learn both more about the subject I’ve really been interested in, and also to get an insight on what life is like here in the UK and learning more about the traditions which are really different to my day to day life.

My economics classes here at Immerse have been really engaging. The classes are relatively small, which gives the potential for students to say their thoughts and debate, encouraging open thinking and conversations with the rest of the class.
